Ingredients

  • potato4 medium
  • oil1.5 tbsp
  • paprika1 tsp
  • garlic powder1/2 tsp
  • saltto taste

Method

  1. Cut into wedges

    Wash the potatoes and cut each one into 6-8 thick wedges, leaving the skin on. Keeping the skin adds bite and holds the wedge together, while even sizes cook through at the same time.

  2. Season the wedges

    Toss the wedges with the oil, paprika, garlic powder and salt until evenly coated. Rubbing the oil over the cut sides helps the spices stick and the edges crisp into a golden crust.

  3. Arrange in the basket

    Place the wedges skin side down in a single layer in the basket. Standing them on their skins lets both cut faces meet the hot air and brown evenly without steaming.

  4. Air fry

    Air fry at 190°C for 20 min, turning halfway, until golden and crisp outside and soft inside. Turning them partway keeps both cut faces from sticking and browns them evenly.
